Loopback is great for terminal servers. For example, you may have a domain
policy that sets a specific screen savor to run on all systems. However,
when the users logon to your terminal servers, you may want a different
screen savor or none at all. What loopback does is apply the user policy
settings when a user logs into a particular system that is in an OU rather
than using the OU's that the user's account is in only. Loopback only
replaces policies from higher OU's if the collide.

Right, I realize you CAN override, but does it FORCE an override for an
entire GPO or just specific settings?
I'm a little confused as to why use loopback at all? To enable loopback on
specific machines you'd need to create an OU and put those machines in it.
Once you have this setup, any GPO applied on that OU will have precedence
over any domain OU. So why enable loopback if you can just do your
overrides natively with GPO precendence order?
Or am I just missing something obvious?

It depends how you do it. Loopback will override settings at a higher level
if they are also set at the loopback level.

Does loopback force override or just allow it?
So to enable loopback on specific machines you have to put a TS/Citrix box
in a dedicated OU with a GPO to enable loopback, correct?
Now lets say I have a domain level OU to enable screen saver after 5 mins.
Does this still apply to the TS/Citrix OU with loopback on?

One thing in that sentence. "the client" is not the Citrix/TS client, it is
the Terminal server.

Just want to hear from the list and make sure that I am understanding this
correctly. With loopback processing, say on a Terminal Server, the user
policy inherited from the domain can be over-ridden by the policies of that
on the Terminal server box. However, it does not work if the user account is
in an NT domain OR if the client is not a Windows 2000 client??? Is that
accurate?
